Sorry about the pointless thread but we just bought a 1989 Ski Nautique 2001!!!! I'm so happy because it's our first inboard. I'm so used to an ankle high wake behind our old boat that the new boat's dry wake scares me!! Again sorry for the useless thread... I'll post a couple pics tomorrow or Tuesday... Probably. (btw- How are you guys tying down the stern of your SN 2001s? ours doesn't have tie down hooks.)

Watch who you ask on this Dan, there's a "strap down the back of the boat" thread where several rocket scientists tell you don't bother doing it! (not me of course) Anyway, looking forward to seeing the pics of your new ride!

I have an 86 2001. When I tie down the stern I use normal transom straps and then I attach them from the swim platform to the trailer. I dont make them SUPER tight, but they are tight enough. See the picture below.

Congrats! Thats a beautiful ride. Like Darren said, be sure to sign up over at the2001.com.

I added some eyebolts to the prop guard on my trailer and use transom straps to the platform mounts. The platform isn't ideal, but they're plenty strong in shear. I might add some d-rings to the transom if I ever do the foam/floor/stringers.
